I felt like an empty shell, but I still finished filming that day. Looking back now, I honestly don&#8217;t know how I managed to get through it,&#8221; he recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Strict cross-border restrictions were also in place at the time, meaning Lee Teng had to undergo a mandatory two-week quarantine upon arriving in Taiwan before he could see his wife.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I could only see my baby one last time through a video call. That&#8217;s something I&#8217;ll always regret because I never got the chance to hold or touch him in person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After arriving in Taiwan, Lee Teng put his career on hold for three months to stay by his wife&#8217;s side and support her through her grief.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I missed out on some work opportunities, but I don&#8217;t regret it at all. A wound like this doesn&#8217;t heal overnight. Only time can slowly ease the pain,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Teng, who described himself as an optimistic person, said he focused all his energy on caring for his wife&#8217;s physical and emotional well-being during that period.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged her to recover and held on to the belief that the child meant for them would one day come into their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The couple welcomed Ellison in July 2025. Looking back on everything they had been through, Lee Teng said it still feels surreal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"However, while he was filming a programme, he received a message from his wife telling him that their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60,154972],"class_list":["post-550307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-pregnancy-loss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
